Estimating the volume of trash in the ocean is challenging, but it is estimated that there are approximately 150 million metric tons of plastic debris in the ocean. This includes a wide range of items, from large fishing nets to microplastics. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch alone is estimated to contain around 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic, with a volume that varies due to the nature of the debris and ocean currents. Ongoing research aims to provide more accurate assessments of oceanic trash distribution and volume.
